Hilltoppers Take Six-Game SBC Winning Streak to Jonesboro toTake On Arkansas State

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Following a dramatic comeback win at UALR Saturday night, WKU gets right back on the court Monday night at 7:05 (CT) at Arkansas State looking for its seventh-straight Sun Belt Conference victory.

Trailing by 13 points with 8:17 left in the game, WKU topped the Trojans when Trency Jackson hit a buzzer-beater to give the Hilltoppers the one-point victory.

The Hilltoppers defeated the Red Wolves in double overtime in Bowling Green a month ago, but Arkansas State has won back-to-back games against WKU contested in Jonesboro.

A win on Monday night would make WKU 10 games over .500 for the first time since February 7, 2009, when the Hilltoppers were also 17-7.

Monday's game will be televised by the Hilltopper Sports Satellite Network, airing nationally on ESPN3 and ESPN Full Court and regionally on WKU PBS in the Bowling Green area and WBNA in Louisville. It will be broadcast on the radio on the Hilltopper IMG Sports Network, airing locally in Bowling Green on WKLX-FM Sam 100.7, with Randy Lee and Hal Schmitt on the call.

WKU returns to E.A. Diddle Arena to start a three-game homestand on Thursday at 7:00 PM (CT) against Troy.
